city

I dream of a heavenly city
I've heard it's one of a kind
More than the heart can fathom
More than my finite mind

I long to walk on its streets
In the cool of the day
Knowing someday
It will be mine

I drift t'wards the heavenly city
Its breeze blows now but not yet
I come and bring with me nothing
From the world I long to forget

Would I sell every good thing
I own in this life
For a treasure that
I can't hold now

I could drink every drop
Of this life and still know
All its rivers
Would not fill me up
O this world's but a shadow
In the shade of the sun
I'd be a fool
To not give it up

On the shores of the heavenly city
I rest with my feet in the sand
As I wait for the sun to set into the sea
I realise
It's glow never ends
